nah, as an organisation it can only be discussed in terms of the policies it explicitly endorses. doesn't make sense to consider the individual views of its members as they are too wide ranging as you say

-affiliated organisations, which are autonomous e.g LGBT Labour, the Fabian society.
-'factions' or 'wings' and their associated 'think tanks' e.g. progress
-interaction with civil society
-trade union links
-the co-operative party
-the many different local, devolved and european levels at which the party exists which have considerable autonomy e.g. the party of european socialists
- anything that goes on at a local level without any kind of 'endorsement' of the central party for example by local government which is, again, autonomous.
- policy forums (where the members democratically feed into what becomes 'explicitly endorsed policy')
- young people
- what people actually talk about on the doorstep with voters (the main way labour communicates in elections)
- elected representatives who don't toe the party line
etc etc...

as in any way feeding into wider discourse and policy discussion? even though thousands of people in the above groups are currently working with the party to shape its vision and policy stances.

I know it's easier to only understand the labour party in parliament or ed miliband himself but it's actually a pluralistic, democratic, member-led(at least in theory) organisation.

the labour party - its proccesses and structures, its leadership, its tolerence for some quite repugnant people - is far from perfect.

Reconciling my own politics and aligning myself with it is not something I do that easily. But I do it knowing that my views don' have to change or become tempered as a member, that there's people who agree with me and that 'lefties' can actually exert influence if they want to lead. Refusal to constructively engage with the labour party because it's TOO RIGHT WING is a completely hopeless position to take on the other hand.

I'm not just having this conversation (with myself) because I have an interest in politics. I genuinely believe that we have the ability to determine what happens after 2015. Whether we rebuild the welfare state, whether children don't grow up in poverty, whether we stop the onslaught of privitisation... will depend on the success of Labour Party.

but there's absolutely nothing to suggest that the Labour Party are for those things. even at the moment, in opposition, they support motions that get passed in favour of those things or just abstain (c.f. workfare). when they were last in power they did nothing to repeal previous acts deconstructing the welfare state.

obviously the idea that we have to make the Labour party left wing by joining it is just absurd.

meaning it's very easy to be hypocritical in at least some aspect while living in society as it currently stands.

Where as right-wing politics tends to idealise personal achievement so there's not really much you can be held up to have failed on. Obviously that's a generalisation but mostly it's when right-wingers get preachy about society that they tend to fall flat because it usually transpires they don't follow whatever miserable existence they expect poor people to follow.
